Essential Ham Thuan Nam Hotel Tips

Key insights for a comfortable stay:

Check tide times at Tan Thanh Beach

The beach at Tan Thanh can narrow significantly at high tide, so ask your hotel about tide patterns if you plan to swim or sunbathe on the sand.

Ke Ga Lighthouse visiting hours

The lighthouse at Ke Ga Cape is typically open to visitors during daytime hours only; arrange your trip through your hotel to confirm access and any small entry fee.

Cash is essential outside Ma Lam

Most guesthouses and restaurants in Tan Thanh, Thuan Quy, and Ke Ga do not accept cards, and ATMs are concentrated in Ma Lam. Withdraw enough dong before heading to the beach.

Book weekend stays in advance

Domestic visitors from Ho Chi Minh City often fill beach hotels on weekends, especially in Thuan Quy and Ke Ga, so reserve direct with the hotel at least a week ahead.

Motorbike rental through your hotel

Hotels in Tan Thanh and Thuan Quy can usually arrange motorbike rentals for around 100,000–150,000 VND per day; check brakes and fuel before riding.
